I see news of the Ceradyne SAEC plates has reached reddit. The top answer is that they are made by Ceradyne.
>>65048364I always try to catch a good Bible movie. Alternates being Jesus Christ Superstar, The Passion, and Godspell. Anthony Quinn surprised me in Barabbas. And Harvey Kaitel had a very interesting portrayal of Judas in The Last Temptation of Christ. The Ten Commandments is a great movie, if you can sit for 3+hrs. A great sea battle. 2yrs ago I was at a service where the Bishop (yes, Bishop) said his more unsusual question ever was "How much do you love God?". His answer was, "Not as much as I should, and not as much as He loves me." Theme: https://youtu.be/yFsnptQEWvM?si=cm1wRGgbgBNc7fyq
>>65048418Here's the summary of what's "known" about the SAEC so far, for anyone curious. 1. It's a super-high-end Ceradyne made ostensibly for DEVGRU and 24th STS around 2009-2013.2. It weighs four pounds for a 10x12 swimmer (ergo 4.2lb SAPI M). It is standalone and does not require soft armor.3. It is concealable, so under 0.75" thick. Drop protection is probably sketchy. Also, because it's a late-period Ceradyne there is a possible delamination concern.4. The ebay seller decided to complete the transaction off-ebay with some dude for five thousand dollars (pair). Kinda shady IMO but ok I guess since these are hot as hell.5. The blurred part of the label is actually sanitized. "NSN" is XXXX-XX-XXX-XXXX. This is very alarming because even Ceradyne plates made for Delta (96034) and ordinary SOCOM plates have NSNs.6. The rating is hotly debated. Going off the capabilities of other high-end Ceradynes, the language on the back (enhanced concealable), and the existence of an Enhanced Concealable SAPI which provides ESAPI performance but in a concealable thickness (hint!) this is an extreme featherweight quasi-Level IV plate. at 4lb 10x12 Swimmer, it is the lightest Level IV of all time aside from experimental Boron Suboxide or Polycrystalline Diamond models.

>>65048455you bait, but every non-USA nation requires an export economy for arms to sustain domestic manufacturing and development.
>>65048440At this point I'm just coming back once a month to check if a random thread (this thread) is still a nafo hugbox...Until we meet again!
>>65033732They didnt start the war with drone interceptors though. No one did.That was a battlefield evolution.Also lol ukraine doesnt have a "bigger land army" bigger than who? USA? nope.More resilient than who? Iran? yeah.Apples to oranges comparison. No point in trying to compare Ukraine to their overlord or the enemy other their overlord lmao.

>A Merkava Mk4M-400 of the 53rd Sufa Battalion.you can see the backside of the countermeasure launcher on the top left and the new electrooptical+radar sensor on the top right.it also appears they ahve added a new (for redundancy?) camera over the commander's right
Not here to engage with thirdie retardbut I am curious how the Merkava finds itself in so many roll-overs and driving off cliffs.Is there a genuine reason for this?
>>65047978Partly extensive use in rugged, mountainous terrain (notice how all the pictures are from northern Israel or southern Lebanon) and partly confirmation bias (see the seething thirdie ITT, there's an army of them that will have a whole ass Merkava fails folder and nothing else).
Why does Israel use tanks like Russia?

Imagine it's the medieval times and you are going to war on horseback. Which mighty steed are you riding to battle on? And what weapon are you bringing? Which suit of armor are you wearing?

>>65046794>Post more armored centaur girls.Do you like your centaurs armor modern or vintage?
>>65047948The mongol horses (shitty little runty steppe ponies) were good only because nobody else had figured out how to effectively ride them yet, and the mongols were the only dudes around with stirrups. It had nothing to do with breed quality.
Medieval destriers were 14-15 hands, btw. 14 is the cutoff for a pony.
>>65048370>14-15 handsCan you mutts stop inventing retarded measure units?
Thoughts on USAF pilots survival gear?
>>65046902>>65046996You just got blasted by trips and dubs. Learn when to shut the fuck up, tourist scum.
>>65040569Why even bother with the removable barrel? Just give it captive pins and something to hold the bolt carrier in the upper when it's disassembled.
>>65047548Limited run. You would need to buy used or built it out.
>>65048032The fuck are you talking about anon? If you want to make a survival rifle to take the enemy's ammo, you need to correctly guess what someone's actually going to come across. Unless you invented a rifle that can shoot both 7.62 and 5.45, then you already have a problem in any of the regions we're talking about, unless the entire middle east finally agreed on a single cache of old Soviet shit to all standardise on and I missed it.Same for China, they still have stock of old type 81s alongside their newer guns in service. Russia, I can't even fucking begin to guess what cursed shit you might find a mobik using at the moment.The places you're most likely to find a single round more or less everywhere you can plan for are developed countries where a US pilot isn't going to need a rifle to fend off the locals anyway.
>>65047314I'd feel pretty good if that was available to me after a bail. all you got back in the day was some bare-bones bolt action piece of crap or a pistol.
>this isn't some early post war early 1950s design>it entered service in 1984
>>65046630Yes goy, you are always beholden to Jews and need to remember your place
>>65046073It's nice to see a nuanced take about the troubles, especially from an American. Like you say the whole thing is fucked and the country is ran by people who are old enough to have deeply embedded past grudges or have familial ties to ex-gunmen. That being said it's slowly getting less shit. If you ever do get a chance to travel the Island, do try to give the north a visit, especially the north coast.
>>65039137Yeah British vehicles and their weapons as a whole are an acquired taste, same with their food desu
>>65037987I think the brits are very good at a sort of "we built this thing to fucking kill you we don't care if you laugh at it before you die" aesthetic. Although, given that I'm an american maybe I could be mistaken and a brutal architecture meant to grind lives to dust is just what they consider beautiful, which does kind of track.
>>65045564Eh, being part Welsh I might view it differently but I don't necessarily consider Sinn Fein support to = IRA support even if Sinn Fein did support the IRA. I also view it as somewhat understandable in the context of RUC violence against the Catholics pre-Troubles (which was part of the reason the Troubles started).A lot of people who vote Plaid Cymru don't necessarily want an independent Wales, certainly barely any supported that one Welsh knock off IRA (I forget its name), but they do want things like Welsh language, separation of powers, Welsh cultural focus etc.Agreed on the military tactics being moronic, this is why I am critical of all the groups involved in the Troubles, they did a fantastic job of killing random people who in many cases were either moderates or on their side. I think there is one example where the UVF gunned down a pub because they saw a glimpse of the Irish rugby(?) team on TV. Violent morons with heavy weapons was never a good thing for Ireland on any side.>>65045618Yeah, plus imagine the current Irish military trying to police the "loyalists". It'd be a complete shitshow and probably end up with IRA remnants re-arming and going at it (and inevitably British re-deployment to try and help the Irish who would fail).>>65046088Doesn't really matter, every European nation has dozens of different ethnic groups (no I don't mean recent arrivals), Poland has Kashubs for example, Romania has Hungarian minorities, the list could go on and on.>>65046630Gerald Bull built big guns for anyone with a wallet, he was working for the South Africans (big Israeli allies at the time) for years.Comment too long.

>>65044998>The entirely believable backstory I got from the seller:The stock on this M1903 I got for $6 at an auction. Buttplate was a bit rusty but other than dirt and dried cosmoline the stock was perfectly fine. It had probably been sitting in a basement for 60 years; the rifle it was originally on was long gone.
New surp
>>65044998>>65045124I like stories like this. I bought this rifle in a sporter stock at an auction for like $175, then bought the stock about an hour later for $25. So this was an easy and cheap restoration. I have 2 Eddystone 1917s that all in all I’m into for about $350 total. But that’s a story for another day.

How do you think it's going to go down? I imagine there won't be an infantry presence until it's practically leveled.

>>65047282Physically, nothing is stopping Iran from setting up a toll and they've been doing it in the short term as a form of leverage.Economically and diplomatically, it's not sustainable. It just triggers economic retaliation and damages their own trade.
>>65047310Given that now French ships are passing through freely, collecting a toll isn't feasible. It's pure thirdie fantasy.
>>65046701I know about inspect element too, you aint slick.
>>65047603> French ships are passing through freely,That was one (1) ship that passed in cooperation with Iranian authorities (they paid in Yuan or Crypto)
Why did older, obsolete SAM systems outperform the supposedly high-end ones? Both the THAAD and the S-400 have been major disappointments.
>I stole a post from /r/NCDThis might be a self a report, but I'm bringing you with me you faggot.
The whole point of IADS is each system is optimized for certain targets, THAAD and the S-400 are both anti-ballistic missile systems that get dunked on by crop dusters throwing VOGs out the window.The issue right now is there isn't any small drone optimized systems leaving a capability gap.
>>65047843Archeotech
>>65047843>Both the THAAD and the S-400 have been major disappointments.lol no, just the s-400 which is a huge piece of shit :)
>>65048010The THAAD system the US set up across the middle east was knocked out in the first 2 weeks of the war

Now that Netanyahu has withdrawn from NATO, they can finally defeat the next enemy standing in the way of Greater Israel. But do they actually have a chance 1v1?I haven't been impressed by the IDF's recent performance and the Turkish armed forces are large and fairly well-equipped.

>>65032608>wants to be Hitler>massive jew loverWhich Hitler are we talking about? Is he in the room with us now? Now to be fair Hitler didn't hate the jews enough there were 150k jews in the Wehrmacht.
>>65040286Jews run almost all the pro-immigration NGOs in Europe and America, and were instrumental in advocating for pro-immigration legislation like Hart-Cellar. Most of the immigrants to Europe don't come from states which have been at war or experienced regular terrorism in the last two decades. So yes its mostly da joos.
>>65040286>>da joooosUsing the word "joooos" betrays you. Besides, you cucks already stalling agains Iran and their post-cold-war equipment. Can't imagine you guys being able to do any meaningful harm without getting heavily punched into your face.

I want to put thishttps://www.midwayusa.com/product/2420373744?pid=373744On pic related. Current scope is airsoft and idk where that ends and gun begins. The rings are 1 screw per side and direct thread into the rail which screws into the top receiver 1 in the back 2 in the front.I think the rings and rail are original, should I run 1 screw rings on a 30-06? My 30-30 runs 2 screw rings. Original scope was a 3-9 Nikon that got lost along the way
>>65048358I don’t want some old timey garbage that’s windage depends on the phase of the moon, I want hard mounts. I’ve never had to re-zero the 30-30.
>>65048410>see-thru rings on a .30-3010/10 boomeryou need a wingmaster with one of those comically large clip-on front sights to round out the package.
>>65048435Fuck you, those rings kick ass for doing deer drives. Something you can’t do, you no friends loser
>>65048447I wasn't insulting you anon, I was saying the gun had a cool vintage look.
>>65048456This. If you want to actually be critical about it, that gun looks like crap. The wood has no figure at all. The finish is shit. The forend doesn't match the stock. Extruded rings are crappy. The scope is too. But that nitpicking doesn't matter. I'm sure it kills bambi dead just fine. It has charm. It's like an old pickup truck that has some wear and tear, maybe a replaced door whose paint doesn't quite match. It's a gun that can tell stories, something that people took hunting for years, not some safe queen or larpstick dressed up for social media attention.>>65048435also needs some stupid-hot exotic .30 cal or perhaps a 7mm mag for "the long shots" (150 yards)
